Care to elaborate a little? Is it a mobile app? A niche site?

I shouldn't. I will say that it's not just one application or site or product.

I didn't see anything like it in the "YCRFS 1" thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=766796).

I think the difference is that we didn't set out to do a journalism app or a publishing site; we set out to solve "the problem" of journalism and publishing, and in the process put an industry on its ear.

I see. Sounds interesting. When are you guys planning to launch?

Yikes, I dunno. We started talking seriously about it a few months ago, following up on a conversation from over a year before. Development has just barely begun on two aspects of it. If we apply for Winter 2010, we're gonna have to push hard.

I'm currently writing some documents to finalize the business model and development roadmap.

Launch to alpha would be not less than 6 months if we busted our asses.

Good luck to both of you :)

Thanks!
